ICE WRAPPER.

Application filed July 26, 1921. Serial No. 728,351.

This invention relates to improvements in ice wrappers and aims to provide a wrapper for ice in blocks for sale at retail which shall thoroughly insulate the ice and at the same time can be made at a low price.

Further objects of the invention will be :pparent from the drawing, in which Figure 1 shows a block of ice in my improved wrapper.

to Figure 2 is a sectional view along the line 22 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a sectional View along the line 3-3 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a perspective View of a block of ice on my wrapper before being wrapped.

Figure 5 is a perspective view of the individual ice wrapper partly in section.

The innermost layer adjacent the ice is a sheet of paraifin paper intended to keep the melted ice from soaking through the Wrapper. Next to this sheet of paratlin or other waterproof paper I use a layer of sawdust or cotton waste or similar fibrous material, and over the layer of sawdust or cotton waste, I put a series of old newspapers or other waste papers, In this way, I secure a fair thickness of insulating material over the block of ice and by making the innermost layer waterproof preventing the diffusion of .the melted ice, a block of ice in my improved wrapper can be kept for a considerable time without melting to any large extent. If desired, the block after being wrapped, can be tied with a string for the purpose of carrying the same.

The parafiin coating of the innermost layer may be used to secure the sawdust to the sheet, or other adhesive may be used in order to secure the sawdust or other insulating material to the adjacent paper. 7

Having shown a cheap and efficient method of conserving a block of ice, what I claim is 1. An ice wrapper consisting of a sheet of parafiin paper. a layer of fibrous heat insulatiug material secured to the face of said paper by means of the paraffin exposed on the surface thereof, and an outer wrapper of ordinary paper covering said fibrous heat insulating layer.

2. An ice wrapper consisting of a sheet of paper having a paratiin surface on one side, a layer of fibrous heat insulating material adherent to said surface and an. outer wrapper covering said fibrous heat insulating layer, said wrapper being sufficiently flexible so as to cover a block of ice In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature.
